( 31) Convention Application Nos 7 704 883 7713666 ( 11) 26 April 1978 ( 19) ( 32) Filed 28 April 1977 1 Dec 1977 in ( 33) Sweden (SE) ( 44) Complete Specification published 7 Jan 1981 ( 51) INT CL 3 B 21 B 31/18 13/14 ( 52) Index at acceptance B 3 M 15 B 1 B 16 D 17 A 4 19 B 19 C 19 D 9 B 9 W G ( 54) ROLLING MILL ( 71) We, STIFTELSEN FOR METALLURGISK FORSKNING, a Swedish Institution, of Fack, S-951 20 Lulea, Sweden, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following
statement: –
The present invention relates to a rolling mill, particularly one with work rolls having a plurality of grooves of different area and particularly but not essentially to a 6-high rolling mill for rolling sections, -sheet or strip.
Conventional rolling mills for rolling ingots and sections are usually built as two-high stands, the rolls being relatively long and having a long series of roll grooves through which the products have to pass successively during the rolling process, and conventional mills for cold rolling sheet and strip are usually built up from a series of roll stands in tandem with work rolls through which the products have to pass successively during the rolling process.
The distance between the roll stands in such a two-high rolling mill will be large, while the roller conveyors will be wide and voluminous, and due to the many stands in a mill for cold rolling sheet and strip, large space is required with high plant costs as a result.
The present invention has the object’ of diminishing the distance between the stands and diminishing the width of the roller conveyors in a hot rolling mill for rolling ingots and sections, and to reduce the number of stands in a cold rolling mill for rolling’ sheet and strip so that a much less voluminous rolling mill than those known up to now is obtained, the work rolls also being more easily exchangeable than is the case in known rolling mills.
The present invention provides a rolling mill comrising: a roll stand; a pair of cylindrical work rolls; said work rolls having roll grooves with different cross-sectional areas associated in pairs; means for mounting said work rolls on said roll stand; back-up’ rolls mounted in said roll stand; driving means for driving said work rolls, said driving means comprising means for rotating said back-up rolls and means for urging said back-up rolls into hard mutual contact with said work rolls such that the work rolls 55 rotate with the back-up rolls; said work roll mounting means comprising means for displacing said pair of work rolls axially in said roll housings such that a desired roll groove can be positioned with its centre 60 line substantially coinciding with the central plane of the rolling mill for rolling’ a desired section.
By rolling in the mill according to the invention taking place at the centre line of 65 the mill the whole time, the back-up rolls can be made relatively short and great stability obtained The length of the back-up rolls and thus the width between the stand housings does not need to be greater than 70 that required by manipulators for handling the rolled product, i e reversing and entering the product.
The invention will now be described in details in the following while referring to 75 the attached drawings in which a rolling mill with two different embodiments of the work rolls are schematically illustrated as examples.
Fig 1 is a partially sectioned front view 80 of a rolling mill with work rolls for rolling steel sections, Fig 2 is a partially sectioned side view of the rolling mill according to Fig 1, and Fig 3 is a front view of a rolling mill similar to the one in Fig 1 but 85 provided with work rolls for rolling sheet or strip.
The rolling mills shown on the drawing include four back-up rolls 1 mounted in the stand housings 3 and two work rolls 2 in 90 the embodiment according to Fig 2, and two work rolls 20 in the embodiment according to Fig 3 The back-up rolls 1 are driven via shafts 4 and can be opened and adjusted by means of the mechanism 5 95 which can comprise hydraulic cylinders and load screws During rolling, the back-up rolls 1 exercise constant pressure on the work rolls 2 and 20, respectively, so that these rotate with the back-up’ rolls simul 100 PATENT SPECIFICATION
Cq 1 0 » 1 1 582-422 3 1,582,422 taneously as they are in mutual contact At one end, the work rolls are provided with axial bearings 6, the bearing houses 7 of which rest in a frame 8 common to both rolls The frame 8 and thereby the rolls 2 and 20, respectively, are adjustably displaceable in the housings 3, e g by means of a rack 9 operated by a motor driven pinion 10 The motor is actuated by a setting means, so that on a signal from the means it rotates a definite angular distance, thus causing the pinion 10 to be rotated a definite angular distance The distance moved by the rack 9 and frame 8 and thus the axial position of the rolls 2 and 20, respectively, can thus be predetermined in this simple way, so that the respective roll groove 12, 22 required for the pass in question always has its centre line in the same plane as the centre line of the rolling mill In the embodiment according to Fig 1, the roll grooves have diminishing cross-sectional area from one end of the rolls 2 to their opposite end as is indicated by the grooves 11, 12, 13 As is also indicated, the contours thereof can be different for roll sections which can thus be square, round, oval etc.
In the embodiment according to Fig 3, for rolling narrow sheet or strip material, the roll grooves have increasing convexity from one end of the rolls 20 to their opposite end as indicated by the roll grooves 21, 22, 23.
In order to obtain the greatest possible utilization of the rolling path, the roll grooves are arranged as close to each other as is practically possible.
The lateral displacement of the rolls to predetermined positions is provided by a programmable control means via which the motor is actuated to drive the rack 9, mentioned above A rolling program can thus be preprogrammed with respect to the movement of the roll grooves so that their centre line can coincide with the central plane.
Since rolling always takes place with the selected roll groove centre line coinciding with the central plane of the rolling mill, or substantially so, the back-up rolls 1 can be made relatively short and the rolling mill will be very stable The distance between the stand housings 3 is solely determined by the necessary space for ancillary equipment, e.g a manipulator head with lead roller which automatically provides for reversing and reentry of the ingot or product, on either side of the rolling mill.
Rolling a product 14 is schematically illustrated in Fig 2, the product running on a roller conveyor 15 For each change of roll groove for the product, this taking place in a few seconds with the help of the motor (not shown) and rack 9, the pressure on the backup rolls 1 is eased, and the work rolls displaced axially by the said programmed distance The initial position of the back-up rolls can be regulated by simple loading screws 16 Opening and closing the rolls during rolling can take place with the help of short hydraulic cylinders 70 Since the product to be rolled always moves in the same line in the longitudinal direction, the ancillary equipment for the rolling mill can be made very simple, e g.
roller conveyors with short rollers, muffle 75 furnaces for keeping hot etc.
A number of work rolls with fitted axial bearings can be kept in a store outside the rolling mill, so that they can be used in the mill as required during a rolling process in 80 progress.
A rolling mill according to the invention can be used for hot rolling as well as for cold rolling of different sections and also for rolling ingots, blanks and wire as well 85 as rolling sheet and strip It is possible to change from one type of rolling to another by a simple operation solely involving changing the work roll.
